Numerous studies on oral biofilms have been performed <i>in vitro</i>, although it is difficult to mimic the oral environment. Here we used an <i>in situ</i> model to conduct a quantitative analysis and comprehensive identification of bacterial communities over time by performing deep sequencing of 16S rRNA genes. We show here that the number of viable bacteria in supragingival biofilms increased in two steps. Using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, as well as confocal laser scannin ...[more]
